A truly lovely evening. Chef Brian and the staff at Grouse took such great care of us. From our coats being checked to our prompt payment being taken, each step of our evening was thoughtful and effortless. Service was unobtrusive but precise with plates and cutlery being switched and wine and cocktails constantly flowing. The scallop dish was my star of the evening with a beautiful balance of rich flavours. It is so wonderful to see the menu change by season. I highly recommend placing your trust in this staff to deliver a spectacular dinner.

About the restaurant

Odd Couple is family owned Asian Restaurant. It was born out of the desire to recreate Canadian-Asian favourites in a fun, thoughtful expression of the union between East and West using high quality ingredients. It's good for casual lunch visits, family and friends gather dinner or a simple night bites with delicious drinks.

Delicious food. Hard to describe the mastery required to put together such delicious, well balanced Italian-inspired meals. A lot of care is put into coming up with such a great menu and preparing such amazing dishes. A wonderful culinary experience all around. Not a place to go for a cheap meal, but most definitely satisfying and worth every penny.

Food and service were outstanding as usual but the noise level made it difficult to hear one another at the table. Parking is an ongoing issue.

About the restaurant

TAVERNA is nestled in Saskatoon's historic downtown core within walking distance of a number of major hotels in the renowned entertainment district. The building was originally the grocery section of the J.F. Cairns Department Store dating back to 1907. Taverna still maintains a historical charm and character, serving delicious, exceptionally well-prepared Italian American food since 1969. Simultaneously comfortable yet aspirational.

We believe that keeping the food fresh, simple and whole is the secret to a successful dish. Italian food doesn't have to be complicated or elaborate to be spectacular.

Great place with fantastic pizza. If you're seated next to the open kitchen, it's fun but can get noisy during busy times. Wonderful service and quality food.
